Madi,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">That’s about correct with with I was thinking. The idea is to flesh out a project for presentation as a product to the unsuspecting consumer. Shrink wrap things so to speak.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">The Coding aspect would be related to setting up demos/tutorials, focusing on the (new) end user and getting them up and running as quickly as possible. Maybe It’s more aptly described as Customer Management, in any case, still neeeds to be project
specific, but there may be a mechanism for setting things up initially as a Template of sorts for use by multiple projects. The goal here would be to present the different OSGeo projects with a unified look and feel. This might be an expansion to Live-DVD,
but I think it better resides alongside the projects, at least in the formative stages.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I know I’m not describing this very clearly, but the idea is still a little cloudy in my brain too. </div>

</div>
<div class="">I'm not sure I fully understand your idea, as I lack a bit of context. However, the gsoc implies coding. If the project you have in mind doesn't include coding, but rather outreach, documentation, etc., or the coding part is really small, it seems
to me more suitable for a Code-in task [1] (or more tasks), which this year for the first time we plan to apply for. Please let us know more.</div>

<div class="">What’s the communities position on suggesting a SoC project that would be targeted at usage and setup of software packages? With the recent Marketing groups push etc., it seems like a comprehensive sales approach to enhancing projects might be
a good fit for a SoC proposal, but maybe this is to far left field to think about for SoC.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I have an idea for submitting a proposal for building out a framework to be used in the future for handling setup and tutorial information for projects. The general idea is to make the resources lookup (for individual projects) all look the same
from the (OSGeo) perspective.</div>

<div class="">Dear All,<br class="">
<br class="">
It’s that time of the year again! <br class="">
<br class="">
Applications for Google Summer of Code 2017 are now open for would-be mentor organizations, and we are in the process of applying on behalf of OSGeo. At this stage, it is extremely important that we put up a nice and informative ideas page, that Google will
look at in order to evaluate OSGeo’s application. <br class="">
<br class="">
*We need your help!* <br class="">
<br class="">
As previous years, we will create an OSGeo Ideas page, that links to software communities ideas pages. If you wish to participate, please, start listing the ideas and the corresponding mentors of your software community and send us the link to your wiki page
latest by February 5th. <br class="">
<br class="">
And spread the word as much as you can!!<br class="">
<br class="">
*Please note that from this year we have set up a group email for admin purpose where you can reach all of us OSGeo GSoC admins at once: <a href="mailto:gsoc-admin@osgeo.org" target="_blank" class="">gsoc-admin@osgeo.org</a>.*<br class="">
<br class="">
For further GSoC-related discussions e.g. inter/cross-project ideas/proposals, ideas discussions, etc please use the long established OSGeo’s SoC -- Google Summer of Code Coordination mailing list (<a href="https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/soc" target="_blank" class="">https://lists.osgeo.org/<wbr class="">mailman/listinfo/soc</a>).<br class="">
<br class="">
Thank you <br class="">
the OSGeo GSoC Admins Team 2017<br class="">
